OR ... that the Republican advisors to Netanyahu were BETTER THAN the Democrat advisors to Herzog ... :-) ...

gOOD POINT.
Obama and his minions are sitting shiva for the next three days.
Indiscriminate bussing of people to the elections doesn’t do any good in Israel if they are not entitled to vote. They have to have ID, first of all. Then they have to be at the voting place where they are assigned. The vote is out into two envelopes with the outer envelope having all your identifying information. If your information and the place to vote doesn’t match up, then the inner envelope with your vote is THROWN OUT.
NOW ... as far as “bussing” is concerned, I’ve worked campaigns where we would call voters and ask them if they needed a ride. If they did, we would go out and drive them to the polls and then back home again. That sort od process is legal and is done quite a bit. I’ve worked campaigns where that is done.
In regards to the money ... Netanyahu got money from the right in the USA, too. As far as how much from each side, I can’t say ... but I do know that one could pour as much money as they wanted to into either side. I hope the Republicans outspent the Democrats ... there in Israel ... :-) ...
Obama can and does lose every day, but Israel knows it can lose only one time.
Glick said that in Israel, it is the Right that often lies to pollsters.
My point is that the media is bemoaning the fact that Netanyahu pulled all the stops to win with the innuendo that somehow that was underhanded in some ways.
The left went even further as far as pulling all the stops including, some rather shady Chicago practices.
And I realize that politics is a full contact sport, but for them to whine and moan after losing is rather pathetic.
But one thing we’ve learned about the left - they are relentless, and after they’ve done licking their wounds they’ll be back with a vengeance. So we better not gloat too much... after all look what happened after the republicans won in a landslide in November - it’s as though the democrats won.
What the hell is wrong with the political intelligence of American Jews? I know the wealthy ones consider themselves protected globalists. But that leaves many millions more all supporting a Democrat Party that wants to destroy Israel, support the demonizing of them as fascist terrorists and sieze their guns. How on Earth can that not ring a giant freaking bell in the mind of a Jew? Every one of them should be conservatives, even if they refuse to join the GOP. The alternative is literally suicide!
Well, they ended up fooling both Netanyahu and the Likud ... :-) ...
I would not blame them if they did. : )
